Durable and distinct, the beauty of a sisal area rug can create a real statement in your décor, and naturally beautify your home. These area rugs are especially popular in Southern California- admired for their natural appearance, which echoes the laid-back style of coastal living.
The well-crafted construction of sisal area rugs makes them extremely stain-resistant, and their fiber content makes them more resistant to flame, as well. The quality of their construction also helps to absorb sounds, making them a great option for placement above wood floors. All these traits considered, it’s easy to see the appeal of sisal rugs as a great investment piece in your home.
Sisal rugs date back many centuries, and are common in places such as Egypt, Florence, Mozambique, and South & Central America. The hard vegetable fibers characteristic of sisal make it a strong material for weaving ropes and mats- stronger than other plant materials like jute, hemp, and flax fibers. This sturdiness and longevity has helped sisal area rugs remain successful and popular throughout the ages.

In addition to reclaimed wood flooring, Coles Fine Flooring offers an excellent selection of laminate. With its wide range of color and pattern choices, laminate is an excellent choice for any home. For the green home, a wood laminate floor provides the natural look of wood without the damage to the forest. Laminate is made using an image of the desired flooring which is separated into individual planks and then highly finished and pressurized. This process gives each plank tremendous durability while making the image appear pressed into the plank and completely natural. It also makes the laminate system versatile, as almost any image can be applied.
Even better, the only thing wooden in a wood laminate floor is the name. The actual laminate boards, because of the laminate technology’s use of images, are made with much less wood than a typical wooden board of the same size. Likewise, laminate saves stone. Most people don’t think about the impact of quarries, but the process of digging for stones to be used on stone floors damages the environment almost as much as deforestation.
